About Us

STAMP DUTY is a conceptual exploration of contemporary silhouettes that draw from vintage Indian aesthetics. 

Established in 2022 by Jay Mehta, the Mumbai-based label places its emphasis on design - bringing together premium, handpicked fabrics and indigenous manufacturing to construct pieces that fall outside the restrictive genres of Indian fashion. 

Informed by a passion for culture, art, music, history and the everyday, the label’s design philosophy is intuitive and eclectic. 

The brand occupies a space removed from formulaic labels  - imagining contemporary Indian luxury as unrestricted by convention. 

"Its creative pulse resonates with the rich artisanal traditions of India in the melodies of contemporary film, fashion, culture, and music. Their logo, a symbol of this fusion, is eloquently etched in English, Devanagari, paying homage to the authenticity and the roots from which it draws life." - Elle

"Stamp Duty is real, accessible and starkly individualistic in its design vocabulary." - Vogue
